The Henry Ford Medical Center - Plymouth

Henry Ford Plymouth is continuing its development of a series of ambulatory care centers in Southeast Michigan, bringing healthcare services closer to the communities the health system serves. The outpatient expansion further supports the ongoing shift in medicine from acute episodes to chronic care.

The Henry Ford Medical Center - Plymouth is located on a site that was previously home to a Kmart store. The site is a dynamic location given its trafficked corner and proximity to the freeway, affording great access to all nearby communities. The site was previously planned for a three-story and up to 150,000-square-foot building as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Under that plan, certain restrictions are required, including locating the building within the original Kmart pad area.

The project includes a number of specialties, including an emergency center and surgery department, which require appropriate entrances, each with a roof/canopy covering.

The building exterior is brick and stone and include branding for the Center that has been formatted on the initial medical center facilities, which are part of this program. While the building footprint is rectangular, the long facade is broken up by the center entrance, along with a change in roof heights at the sloped roof.
